Meridian Community Development Company ("MCDC," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or submit a form, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
Contents
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us
When you complete a form on our website, request a guide, or contact us, we may collect:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Information you volunteer about your investment interest, such as your intended participation amount, preferred partner structure, or credit range
- Any other information you choose to include in a message to us
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits.
Consent records
When you check a consent box on one of our forms, we record the date and time, your IP address, the exact wording of the consent language displayed to you, and the contact information you submitted. We keep these records to demonstrate that consent was properly obtained.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Deliver the guides, documents, and materials you request
- Respond to your questions and schedule calls with you
- Send you updates related to your inquiry and, where you have opted in, marketing communications
- Evaluate and process partnership and investment inquiries
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
- Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
3. SMS / Text Message Program
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the text message services, who are contractually prohibited from using that information for any purpose other than delivering messages on our behalf.
How you opt in
We send text messages only to individuals who have provided express written consent by checking a consent box on one of our forms. Consent is never a condition of purchase, of receiving our materials, or of participating in any opportunity we offer. Our forms present two separate consent options, and you may select either, both, or neither:
- Non-marketing messages — messages related to your specific inquiry, such as appointment scheduling and reminders, document delivery, project and funding updates, and event details.
- Marketing and promotional messages — announcements about new projects and phases, available lots and homes, investor calls, webinars, events, and partner opportunities.
Message frequency, rates, and support
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Reply HELP at any time for assistance, or contact us using the details in Section 13.
How to opt out
Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts from that program. You will receive a single confirmation message, after which no further messages will be sent. Opting out of text messages does not remove you from email communications, and vice versa — each is managed separately.
4. Email Communications
If you submit a form or request materials, we may send you email related to that request. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe link in every message. You may unsubscribe at any time; we will still send transactional email necessary to respond to an active inquiry.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and measure the performance of our advertising. This may include third-party analytics and advertising tools.
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the site function.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers. Vendors who perform services for us — such as our customer relationship management platform, email and SMS delivery providers, website hosting, and analytics. They may use your information only to perform services on our behalf.
- Professional advisors. Attorneys, accountants, title companies, and lenders, where necessary to evaluate or document a transaction you are pursuing with us.
- Legal requirements. Where required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
As stated in Section 3, mobile opt-in data and consent are never shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
7. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain records of consent, and to comply with our legal, tax, and regulatory obligations. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive financial account numbers or government identification numbers through our website forms or by text message.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion of that information, or object to certain uses. To make a request, contact us using the details in Section 13. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Regardless of where you live, you may always:
- Reply STOP to any text message to stop receiving texts
- Use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email
- Ask us to remove you from our contact lists entirely
10. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Third-Party Links
Our website may link to sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Review their policies before providing them information.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated where required by law. Your continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
